Abstract

Software-Defined Network (SDN) is an innovative network architecture with the goal of providing the flexibility and simplicity in network operation and management through a centralized controller. These features help SDN to easily adapt tothe expansion of networkrequirements, but it is also a weakness when it comes to security. With centralized architecture, SDN is vulnerable to cyber-attacks, especially Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. DDoS is a popular attack type which consumes all network resources and causes congestion in the entire network. In this research, we will introduce a DDoS detection model based on the statistical method with a dynamic threshold value that changes over time. Along with the simulation result, we build a practical SDN model to apply our method, the results show that our method can detectDDoS attacks rapidly with high accuracy.
